Useful takeaways from this story.

The WOR$T GIRL IN THE WORLD tour launched with three sold-out hometown shows and will visit North America, Australia, South America, Europe, and the UK, with nearly all dates listed as sold out.

She’s scheduled for festival performances at Lollapalooza, Reading & Leeds, and All Things Go D.C., building on high-profile festival sets earlier this year.

# What happened SLAYYYTER released a new single, "brand new chanel$," and the accompanying official music video, which she directed. The song arrives as she kicks off the WOR$T GIRL IN THE WORLD tour, which began with three sold-out shows in St. Louis and lists nearly all tour dates as sold out across multiple continents.

# The song and video "brand new chanel$" is presented as a high-drama pop track that turns heartbreak into anthemic energy. Lyrical themes included in coverage point to late-night phone calls, after parties, and an obsession with designer items as the story beats that drive the song's tension between emotional entanglement and walking away.

SLAYYYTER's recent album, WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, has been a commercial and critical milestone for her. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Dance Albums chart and reached #22 on the Billboard 200. Pitchfork named it Best New Album. The record has been included by outlets such as Rolling Stone, Billboard, Pitchfork, Variety, ELLE, Vulture, The Ringer, Stereogum, Paste, The FADER, and FLOOD Magazine on their best-of-2026 lists.

The album is described in reporting as her most authentic and fully realized body of work to date, balancing defiance with introspection and drawing on her St. Louis roots and formative musical influences.

# Tour and live momentum The WOR$T GIRL IN THE WORLD tour is billed as entirely sold out. After launching with three hometown shows in St. Louis, the tour itinerary covers major markets including Los Angeles, New York City, Toronto, Sydney, Melbourne, São Paulo, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, and London, where the run ends on November 5, 2026.

Supporting acts are listed: Pearly Drops joins for North America and UK dates (except St. Louis), and Kalika joins for EU dates. The tour follows on the heels of notable festival performances earlier in the year—Coachella and Governors Ball—where her festival sets were described as among the most talked-about pop performances of the circuit.

# Upcoming festival appearances SLAYYYTER is scheduled to appear at these festivals this season:

  • Lollapalooza (Chicago)
  • Reading & Leeds (UK)
  • All Things Go (Washington, D.C.)

# Why it matters The single and video extend the narrative and visual universe SLAYYYTER established with WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA. The combination of chart placement, critical recognition across several major music publications, sold-out global tour dates, and high-profile festival bookings indicates a growth in her commercial profile and live draw through 2026.
